In this paper, A CMOS low-voltage current mode integrator is designed. The designed current-mode integrator is based on linear cascode circuit that is newly proposed in this paper. When it is compared with gain(43.7dB) and unity gain frequency(15.2MHz) of the typical current-mirror type current-mode integrator, the proposed linear cascode current-mode integrator achieves high current gain(47.8dB) and unity gain frequency(27.8MHz). And a 5th Chebyshev current-mode filter with 7.03MHz cutoff frequency is designed. The designed all circuits are simulated by HSPICE using 1.8V-$0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

The effects of external continuous wave optical injection on spectral comb of a 10 GHz harmonically mode-locked semiconductor fiber ring laser have been studied. Greater than 40 dB spectral deeps in the spectral comb and greater than 30 dB reduction of supermode beating noise are achieved by injecting coherent light with ~ 100 KHz spectral width. To examine the possibility of using a low-cost seed source, we replace the seed source by a DFB laser with ~ 10 MHz spectral width. It shows similar spectral deeps, however supermode beating noise enhancement, rather than reduction, is observed.

In this paper, we propose a novel method which efficiently codes $4{\times}4$ intra prediction modes in H.264/ AVC video encoding. There are nine optional prediction modes for each $4{\times}4$luma block and 4 modes for each $16{\times}16$luma block. To code each $4{\times}4$ intra prediction mode, lots of bits are required. To efficiently compress the intra mode bits in H.264/AVC, the most probable mode(MPM) is estimated by using the intra modes of the adjacent blocks, since intra modes for neighboring $4{\times}4$luma blocks are correlated. In this paper, a novel method for estimating the MPM is proposed by using the statistical distribution of intra modes of adjacent intra blocks. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve a coding gain of about 0.1dB.

In this paper, we present a improved rate distortion optimization (RDO) for H.264 intra coding. By using new mode decision criteria pass for $I4{\times}4$ in company with the original RDO, the proposed method can achieve the better coding efficiency comparing with the original RDO. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can archive about $0.64{\sim}1.6578%$ bit rate decrease at the same PSNR and $0.049{\sim}0.101dB$ PSNR increase at the same bit rate.

In video coding standard H.264/AVC, variable block size mode algorithm improves compression efficiency but has need of a large amount of computation for various block modes and mode decision. Meanwhile, decided inter block modes depend on the complexity of a block image, and then the more complex a macroblock is, the smaller its block size is. This paper proposes fast inter block mode decision algorithm. It limits valid block modes to the block modes with a great chance for decision using the image complexity and carries out motion estimation rate-distortion optimization with only the valid block modes. In addition to that, it applies fast motion estimation PDE to the valid block modes with only the $16{\times}16$ block mode. The reference software JM 9.5 was executed to estimate the proposed algorithm's performance. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm could save about 24.12% of the averaged motion estimation time while keeping the image quality and the bit rate to be -0.02dB and -0.12% on the average, respectively.

With the development of information technology, users are provided with information they want through mobile device in various situations. When users communicate with information, there is interaction through gesture activities such as tapping and experience in the process. Experience through interaction in mobile affect the user's psychology. This is important because it is related to the behavior of the user in the future. Various types of information presentation methods have been researched in mobile environment. However, there are more research focusing on functional interactivity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of interaction and usage mode on satisfaction, usefulness, and intention to use for sound text presentation that is user-centered. As variables for my study, there are two factors which are interactivity and usage mode. The interactivity type is composed of two ways that are: High and Low depending on modality and message interactivity; and the usage mode is composed of Action mode and Goal mode depending on whether user has a task or not. The experimental design is $2{\times}2$. The same content is provided in (a) only Modality interactivity, and (b) Modality and Message interactivity are provided. Depending on usage mode, (a) Action mode is processed without a specific task, and (b) Goal mode is performed with a specific task to participants. The experimental study demonstrated that there is a difference in satisfaction, usefulness, and intention to use depending on the difference of interaction and usage mode when providing information in mobile environment. The results of this study are summarized as follows: interaction and usage mode have significant influence on mobile user's satisfaction, usefulness, intention to use.

In this paper, we design a low noise amplifier to support ka-band satellite communication systems using 65-nm RFCMOS process. The proposed low noise amplifier is designed with high-gain mode and low-gain mode, and is designed to control the gain according to the magnitude of the input signal. In order to reduce the power consumption, the supply voltage of the entire circuit is limited to 1 V or less. We proposed the gain control circuit that consists of the inverter structure. The 3D EM simulator is used to reduce the size of the circuit. The size of the designed amplifier including pad is $0.33mm^2$. The fabricated amplifier has a -7 dB gain control range in 3 dB bandwidth and the reflection coefficient is less than -6 dB in high gain mode and less than -15 dB in low gain mode.

We propose a novel still image compression system, which is superior in its function than the JPEG2000 system developed by David Taubman. The system shows 40 : 1 high compression ratio using $2\times2$ bitmatrix subblock coding. The $2\times2$ bitmatrix subblock is constructed in the bitplanes by organizing the bits into subblocks composing of $2\times2$matrices. The arithmetic coding performs the high compression by the bitmatrices in the subblock. The input of the system consists of a segmentation mode and a ROI(Region Of Interest) mode. In segmentation mode, the input image is segmented into a foreground consisting of letters and a background consisting of the remaining region. In ROI mode, the input image is represented by the region of interest window. The high compression ratio shows that the proposed system is competent among the JPEG2000 products currently in the market. This system also uses gray coding to improve the compression ratio.

가변적인 블록을 이용하는 H.264/AVC 인터 화면에서의 모드 결정 방법은 $16{\times}16$부터 $P8{\times}8$ 모드까지 인터 모드에 대해 비트율 왜곡값을 계산 한 뒤 공간적 상관도를 고려하기 위해 인트라 $4{\times}4$와 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 모드까지 비트율 왜곡값을 계산하고, 계산된 비트율 왜곡값 중 가장 작은 값을 갖는 모드를 최종 모드로 선택한다. 하지만 이러한 과정으로 부호기의 복잡도는 증가한다. 복잡도를 감소시키기 위해 본 논문에서는 IPPP구조에서의 인터 모드와 인트라 모드의 특징을 이용하여 고속 부호화를 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 인터 모드에 대해서 최적 모드를 결정하기 위한 비트율 왜곡값의 상관도와 시간 상관도를 이용하고, 인트라 모드에 대해서는 인트라 화면 내에서의 각 인트라 모드에 대한 최대 최소 임계값을 이용하여, 발생확률이 낮은 인터와 인트라 모드의 활성화 여부를 결정한다. 본 알고리즘의 적용 범위는 상대적으로 인터 화면에서 발생 빈도가 낮은 $16{\times}8$, $8{\times}16$, $P8{\times}8$와, 인트라 $4{\times}4$, 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 모드이다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존의 H.264/AVC에 비해 1.36% 비트가 증가 했고, PSNR은 0.06dB 감소했다. 즉, 부호화 효율의 큰 감소 없이 평균 42.58%의 부호화 시간을 감소시켰다.
